Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
|
On August 7, 2020, Meridian Bioscience, Inc. (“Meridian” or the “Company”) issued a press release announcing results for the third quarter ended June 30, 2020. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 7.01.
|
Regulation FD Disclosure.
|
On August 7, 2020, Meridian is hosting a conference call for the benefit of its investors to discuss the results set forth in the earnings release and other business and financial developments. A copy of the presentation, which is available at www.meridianbioscience.com, related to this conference call is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this report and is incorporated by reference herein.
The Company’s press release and presentation disclose certain financial results both in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and on a non-GAAP basis with adjustments for certain items. The Company’s management believes that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures and their related reconciliations are useful to investors because the non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with a basis for comparing the results to financial results from prior periods.
Information in the press release and presentation contains forward-looking statements regarding future events and performance of the Company. All such forward-looking statements are based largely on the Company’s experience and perception of current conditions, trends, expected future developments and other factors, and on management’s expectations, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, including, but not limited to, those factors described in the presentation and in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any financial or other projections or other forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events or otherwise.
The information in each of Item 2.02 and Item 7.01 of this Form 8-K and in the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 and the presentation attached as Exhibit 99.2 is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information in each of Item 2.02 and Item 7.01 of this Form 8-K and each of Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 shall not be incorporated by reference in any filing (whether made before or after the date hereof) or any other document under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in any such filing or document.
